Hi,
I opened this topic because officially Sony has not given yet a release date for the aforementioned products.
I live in Italy, which is basically the third world for anything remotely technological, and I gave up asking various clerks for the Xperia Z Ultra (launch was due mid September worldwide, here nobody knows nothing about it), let alone asking for accessories.
It might be the same as asking for a microprocessor at a grocery store.
So I sent Sony an email, I tweeted them, but no response whatsoever.
I scoured the net for dates, and as of now only Clove in the UK seems to have a date (September 13), but even that's not sure 100%.
All I want to know is, as a friend of mine is going to NY on September 17th, if I could tell him for sure to bring me back a SBH-52 and a SmartWatch 2,and possibly how much would he pay them, and maybe where to search for them.
I know I'm asking a lot here, but maybe there are some New Yorkers here that could give me an advice...
My friend is not as tech savvy as us, so I don't want him to run around in circles to search for a unicorn that will be on sale next month...
I only saw price for the sbh52 on UK webstores, they talk about 64£ with VAT for mid September. Couldn't find any US website, or maybe didn't look so well. So with today rate exchange it would be about $100. Didn't look for the smart watch 2.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
The SBH-52 is priced in Germany at 64€ ~ 85USD, and the SmartWatch 2 at 179€ ~ 235USD.
But usually the devices here get the same value in USD then in Euro, due to VAT, customs and generally higher price level.
So if it will be tagged at 149$ (just as an example!) or whatever, we get the same in Euro.
Both are not set up with a release date yet. But for me its quite evident/presumable, that they will be avail together with the XZU Europe/US release as both were hardly advertised with.
I know, if I had to guess I'd say 199 USD for the SmartWatch 2, and around 70 for the SBH-52.
So it sums up to 270 USD, a little more than 200 euros.
If they make it available from September 17th or before it will save me 70 euros, not bad uh?
If they throw the SmartWatch 2 at 149 USD I'll be more than pleased...
P. S. Does anybody know how much costed the last SmartWatch at launch?
If i remember right it was a SRP of 129€
Smart Watch 2 is selling for about £60 on eBay here in the UK
What they're offering there as SM2 is not the real 2nd version - it is actually the first.
So the price is not a decision-making basis.

I have been looking around as well for price availability and release date. For a week or so Sonymobile.com/gb had a price for the SBH52 as £79.00 with coming soon with a Buy now option which didn't work. They have a corrected it now and it just says coming soon.
As you might know clove.co.uk is selling it for £64.99, while amazon.co.uk seems to be out of stock and will dispatch as sson as they receive them. Amazon is selling it for £56.03..I have placed an order and just Waiting
I have read most probably this is coming out at the end of September. Well we will see.
Has anybody in the uk recieved there smartwatch 2 yet from what ive read the release has been pushed back till Oct 1st,
Almost 20 days since the first post and no news yet.
My friend is in the states and I'm afraid he won't bring anything home...
I tweeted Sony but they didn't reply, I asked the support centre but they say they don't know about release dates...
It's getting frustrating.
Yep, I have one. Can post pictures and answer questions

And saying which one you have, SmartWatch 2 or SBH-52?
And most importantly where did you ordered it from...

Not yet, but I might get one soon.
The watch vibrates and lights up like the old one, but the vibrate is MUCH more powerful.

i found me a preorder, thanx all.
There are many preorder sites threads that you can look at and see which one still has availability. I would suggest to go there and start searching those to find your answer
I ordered from expansys.ca, mainly because they have it available in gold and not just grey. Anything you order from expansys Canada will come from the states, the difference being that they'll take care of things like duties if you order from the Canadian website.
The good thing about it is that they won't charge you until you confirm that you want it AFTER they get enough stock to accommodate you. And there are no cancellation fees.
But it's a big list. I was number 140 on it, just yesterday morning.

thanx, do you think if i preorded from there now, i would get it on or before the 19th? or even faster then amazon.ca?
I'm not sure about that. I doubt it though. They have no ETA, and you'd be at least number 141 on the list, so probably not before the 19th.

At this point I feel like the only people getting anything on or around the 19th are Best Buy, Best Buy.ca, and Gamestop. Maybe Amazon and Newegg but i don't think those are looking too good at this point either. I could be way off but that is how it is feeling so far. From the rumor mill it at least appears all of Canada is pushed back except bb.ca.
You can always try pre-ordering from Frys.
I did last night for my wife.
http://www.frys.com/search?cat=-68332&pType=pDisplay&fq=100319 Android_Honeycomb_3.2-m10099998 ASUS
They also ship to Canada so you never know.
no one knows...
Hold on, let me just grab my crystal ball....
....But seriously, unless someone here works for Asus (in an in-the-know capacity) and spills the beans, you can "assume" anything you want, it will not make the release/availability date any less of a guessing game.
It's true that no one knows but you can make some educated deductions to find that it at least appears so far that GS and BB are the most likely to meet the 19th & 20th estimates. And also that Best Buy Canadia is the best bet in Canada.
i found a site, but the name is prob a typo.
is this the right product numbers?
TF201-B1-GR
TF201-DOCK-GR
edit:
btw the dock is 115 dollars... why so cheap? i know the sites legit, and i called them and they should be getting some in stock in a few days (estimate) this sites my best chance to get it by the 19th... BUT WHY SO CHEEEAAAP!?!
edit2:
now i found the old one for EVEN MORE then the new one... 572.00 the other one is 500... i googled the product numbers and it has to be the right pad... WHY!?
on my way to preordering it right now (1 click away lol)

That's the thing...its not EDUCATED. Anything past 1st Dec Taiwan release is conjecture at best. What makes GS or BB more likely to meet the 19th and 20th dates?

Listen, I'm not going to argue with you. I have read every post in this forum and I am guessing just from all of the conjecture and the few facts that I have read that Best Buy and Gamestop are the most likely to meet the 19th release. I'm educated and that is my guess. I've never come close to stating that it was a fact.
And for the sake of transparency I have paid Gamestop in full for my preorder. So I suppose there is some hope dashed into my edumacated guesses.

well... i hope to god your right, i got a private message from some awesome badass, telling me about a site that has 0 preorders and 6 on the way.
so i should be getting mine around the 19th. they guess it will get to them by the 16th.
Awesome. I hope that is true. I really hope everybody gets them opening day. I was really hoping the 12th would pan out for those that had that as a release date at some point.
im a little worried though... why does my dock only cost 115 dollars..
its supposed to be 150... arnt those set prices? I checked the product number 6 times, and its the proper product, i even called them and they said that the product numbers are always correct.. can someone explain this to me.
What site are we talking about? I'd be curious to look if you have already become the first to preorder there and it won't jeopardize your chances of getting it there.

Even if it takes a week or so to ship, would rather they take the money and stop me from spending it
Now i just gotta get their playstore to respond so i can get my details submitted.
I imagine this is simply them implementing a pre-order system as opposed to being able to deliver any stock. Works for me though. With my hours as a chef chances are every time it came into stock i'd be unable to grab one

Haha, I had auto refresh on to notify me when it came in stock while I was watching tv! Ordered mine and came here to tell everybody but appears other people already got the word out
16gb ordered! Had been after the 32gb originally but i don't play any intensive games, as such large games, i have a computer for that, i have my music on my phone on a 32gb sd card, and anything i desperately need that won't fit on the thing i can keep on an sd card with OTG cable This is mainly just a machine for at home and occasionally on the coach or in the tent etc, so seemed daft to spend an extra £70 for a measly increase in memory.
I will in UK 2more weeks. Do you think google will ship it sooner than 2weeks?
saw somewhere on the www the delivery time in the US is 3-5 business days...it'll be nice to have my hands on it sooner but it doesn't matter as long as i know mines on order.
I hope there are still some left in the morning when the guy who orders stuff at work gets my email.

The number of refreshes, and in the end having to use internet explorer intsead of chrome, just to place the order, let alone the 2-3 week shipping time, google are not filling me with hope, I really would have expected better from one of the bigger companies in the world.

How do you check? I had a look on Google Wallet under transactions and it says nothing about 2-3 weeks, pending etc... The only thing i can see is
Delivery (Two Day): £9.99
Which i assume is the charge only.
Just ordered mine this morning and everything went through OK
I suspect the 2-3 weeks is just Google covering their backsides and expect some will be delivered earlier.

Curiously it say when ordering that the money will not be taken from my account untill the Nexus is ready to ship yet the money has gone from my account within minutes of ordering
HMMMMMMM
so im little bit scare to order it when the availability is 2-3weeks and i will be in UK only till November:crying:

i had the same thing, called them this morning and the adviser said that the money was only in the 'authorization' and wont be debited from the a/c till after it is shipped. but bottom line is that part of my credit limit is not available to me anymore so they might as well have taken it.
I was looking on negrielectronics and they have an opened box xperia z ultra for 595.50. Does that mean it was returned or what?
The boxes don't come sealed they are open so the oem headset can be put in.

Not sure about negri electronics but my new Xperia z ultra didn't come in a sealed box though it's brand spanking new. There was no trace of any seal on the box either. I checked with few other local (I'm from the Netherlands) owners of XZU and they had the same observation.
I think you are getting a good deal. Go for it!

What the.. someone give this guy a medal! Imagine if Sony or whatever did this too. It would change everything.
Decided to start a separate thread here dedicated to the Sony Smart Watch 2 as the other thread was getting mixed up with the SBH52.
Just read over at droid-life that the Sony Smart Watch 2 is now available for only ~$170usd from Mobile fun. Pretty good price considering earlier rumors were it was going to be ~$250+. I put in my order from Kogan for ~$175 but I think they were being dodgy and selling a pre-order without advertising it. Just got an email from Kogan today saying my order has been delayed for another 5 days . Thinking of cancelling and buy from Mobile Fun instead.

Anyone else thinking of getting one to go with their Z Ultra?
Some reviews (to be honest I knew I wanted one after watching the Sony promo videos without reading too much in the reviews - I just love the style!):

what deal on amazon was this which gave away free smartwatch?
Been using mine for about a week. I'm glad I didn't pay for it but as a freebie it's OK. Screen is quite poor quality (think late 90's colour screen phone). Emails don't display pictures & when viewing pictures through the slideshow app you only get a zoomed in view of the middle of the pic.
As I said. It's OK for free but I'd be annoyed if I paid £120-160 for it.

Not a super useful gadget...
Screen is disappointing indeed.
Battery is weaker than I would have thought, needs daily charge.
i like a smartwatch badly, sadly sony looks like bad option. i wish they would of stick with OLED instead of going with LCD ON A FREAKIN' watch
Screen choice was very smart imo, the "always on" nature of the time screen itself yet still with good battery life is great to have.
Yeah, you need to be able to actually see it outside, something AMOLED tends to have trouble with.
purchased the smartwatch 2 from mobilefun on tuesday and after "fraud" checks, i received an email on friday stating it was on backorder til the 23rd. this upset me as i paid for the expedited shipping, so i cancelled order and ordered it from newegg yesterday and it should be here on monday. lol
to sum it up, newegg > mobilefun.
Got mine from clove today. Decent not great. Biggest drawback is I cannot use it together with the sbh52

i'm still waiting for mine to be shipped by Kogan from HK. It better ship tomorrow as previously indicated else I'm not going to be happy! Can't wait to get it to play around with.
There's some more discussion over at the dedicated SmartWatch section here
I've also started up an accessory thread here as I managed to find some screen protectors and quite a few watch bands that would work on the SmartWatch 2.

My SW2 works fine together with the SBH52.
maybe there's a certain way you need to pair the devices or something?

I have to retract my statement, it started to work for me. i turned on the bluetooth on the sw2 and it was able to connect fine together with the sbh52. so all in all loving it

I was told it shipped , but it has not arrived yet ... I did just get an email
stating my SBH52 order is held up do to being sold out . This is upsetting
considering I pre-ordered it from there site & was given a ship date of OCT 2'nd
& now I'm being told I have to wait til the end of the month ...
Since i am pretty sure of NOT getting this phone anytime soon ( i'm at about the 275000 position ) , why not look to my follow Canadians for invites. So if you guys/girls have spare invites, share them here, between Canadians. I'll do the same when i get mine ( if ever... )

Going to be busy...
Well, i would buy a 1+2 if the shipping price in Canada with custom duty was not so high... It's already over $500 CAD and i expect to charge $100+ more for shipping here. It's not a deal and you should wait to see if the new Nexus 5/6 2015's better or the OnePlus Two v2 incoming this year would be better or way better, a Project ARA phone if it don't fail. Also, Snapdragon 820's coming soon too. I am from Montréal in the Québec Province.

Hola
I am with you on this. I have the oneplus one and am currently using S6. I can't see much benefit of buying this version especially with a weak Canadian to US dollar rate.
I am holding out for the new Nexus. I will say that I miss my custom ROMs terribly, the S6 sucks eggs due to poor development. There are a few ROMs out there but nothing like oneplus or Nexus phones.
"So what you want me to do 'bout that?"
US dollar never stopped me from getting what i wanted, but i understand that it can get expensive. I never have anything shipped to Canada, crazy shipping rates, over charges, brokerage., etc... And they are using the WORST cie for that DHL.... I have my stuff shipped to the US near the border and go get it, it's a 30-45 minutes drive, get my stuff, go have a burger and a beer at the Plattsburg marina's Naked Turtle, and come back.
So according to info from the oneplus forums "There will NOT be any CBSA related Customs Duty Fee / Boarder fee when ordering and shipping the Oneplus 2!"
Shipping, the same cost as the oneplus one will be $28USD or approx $37CND
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/canadian-customers-no-more-customs-duty-fee.328542/
For US orders $389 + $16 (standard shipping) = $405USD or approx $530CND
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/official-oneplus-one-shipping-tax-u-s.13183/
For a total of $516CND it is currently cheaper to have it shipped to your door than heading over to the US. This will change back and forth depending on how the dollar goes, but all in all its not too bad.

That's great news. I think that last time ( Oneplus One ) only people from Quebec and Vancouver (?) got hit by a surcharge at delivery by DHL ?
I'm not sure about the DHL extra charge I suspect it's random and nothing to really do with Quebec or Vancouver. I mean all it takes is one DHL employee who isn't sure if the duty was paid or not and people will get double charged. That employee could be working at any DHL location.
Btw I'm number 5xx,000 on the reservation list so please help a brother out with an invite if and when possible. And I say xx cuz everytime I check the number grows, started at ~517,000 now I'm like ~580,000 [emoji20]

Not sure...lol This is what the app tells me but on website it's different....
You peeps really need to read this forum post..... The reservation list is NOT a guarantee you will receive an invite... It's simply used for unused inches and if that happens they will go to the list. I bought on the 11th and the price was $479.00 for the 2, with $36.98 shipping and $60 in taxes.... Crappy that the Canadian dollar is so bad right now...

As far as I know the only invites given are for Pop Ups and contests... I'm OnePlus member #380 and still have not received my early supporter invite... So it will be some time until the reservation list will be used... 8)
Fully aware of the fate of the reservation list members. It sucks but it is the official line. In all honesty I will wait until the nexus 2015 are available for purchase and don't prove to be overly offensive. The current LG based leaks looks horrible to me, I mean there are $100usd android one phones that look much better than that.
Soo as I was saying if I get the invite after I purchase a nexus 2015 then I'll just ignore it. The only reason why I am curious and want to try oneplus 2 is because there is such tremendous support for the oneplus one on xda.
While I want an invite asap I went into this eyes wide open. Which brings up the question, could I get your referral invite when you do get that?
Thks

Same thing for me , i'm on the list but unsure IF i will "push" to get one. I for one, won't degrade myself doing moronic stuff to get higer on the list , like they are asking people to do , i.e. flash mobs and stuff. Looking at reviews i am starting to think that my Oneplus One is still very capable, the 2 hasn't anything really that i want beside being shinny and new
Lol so true. At times I wonder if oneplus is a real company or if they are really an experiment being run by the psychological warfare arm of the people's liberation army.

Well... I'm looking for an invite... for a fellow canadian...
if anyone has one laying around ;p
Nothing so far
Well, it looks like Canada isn't getting OnePlus Two for a while[emoji14] I am still eagerly awaiting my invite as well. Seems we are unlucky.

So there are now an increasing number of threads on the oneplus forum for international customers getting their invites.
Alas these invites are not shareable despite the good intentions of some members.
Anyone here get have any luck?

Would love an invite. Probably just gonna end up buying an invite on eBay.
